The Question of Indian MIRV

[Safriz]

Does India has deployed warhead Capable of being MIRV? Considering the dimensions of existing warhead s and existing Missiles?

 

[Safriz]

The smallest deployed Indian Nuclear warhead may be on Prithvi or Agni-1 which are at least 1 meter wide. The widest Indian missile is Agni-5 which is 2 meter wide.

At the current moment, India does not have an operational MIRV capable missile.Agni 5 is upgradable to MIRV configuration & DRDO is currently working to add MIRV feature in Agni 5.
Agni 6, currently under development (expected to be complete by 2018), will have MIRV capability by default. It will be able to carry and deploy upto 10 nuclear warheads in a single launch.

@Water Car Engineer @PARIKRAMA If you people can shed some light.

Problem is existing warheads. The smallest may be the one on Agni-1 with 1 meter wide warhead. It cannot be MIRV on a 2 meter wide A-5

Neither India nor Pakistan has MIRV warheads.

Neither India nor Pakistan has MIRV warheads.

BARC told You this personally

Neither India nor Pakistan has MIRV warheads.

Pakistan's smallest deployed strategic size warhead is the one used on Abdali and Ghaznavi.
0.56 meters wide an probably 700 Kg in weight. It can be MIRV on 1.8 meter wide Ababeel.
Theoretically Ababeel can carry 7 such warheads,

Ababeel is very under developed missile with a mere one test.
Even U.S. tested MIRV s in Tridebt in only its 7th test and Russian tested MIRV s on Bulava in its 5th test.

Launching multiple satellites which is same tech is MRV is yet to be demonstrated by Pakistan.
Only after proving MRV tech can Pakistan move towards MIRV.

There is a lot of difference between launching satellite and MIRV.Also the purpose of thread is varifying Existing warhead sizes and existing Missile sizes as candidates for MIRV.

Pakistan has a Missile capable of Carrying MIRV's , we are further developing it and i am sure India also have the Technology its just priority what matters , Pakistan need MIRV to counter Indian ABM systems ..

What a noon.
There is very little difference between launching multiple sats & MRV.
MRV is the first step towards MIRV.

 

[Safriz]

Looking at these dimensions of existing missiles and existing warheads. A 1.8 meter wide Ababeel can carry three 0.76 meter wide Shaheen-3 Warheads, or 7 0.56 meter wide Abdali warheads.

damn daniel back again with a new id?

 

[Safriz]

The only MIRV option India Might have is the 0.74 meter dia Sagarika K-15 warhead on Agni-5.
But the problem is that although the Warhead has 0.74 meter dia and can fit 5 on a 2 meter wide Agni-5, its weight is 1 ton and Agni-5 cannot carry 5 tons.
